Kick-Ass

Quite possibly the best superhero movie ever. (Note: This is a sarcastic statement but still, the movie was as fun as any superhero movie I've seen.)

It's hard to top Iron Man and The Dark Knight, but Kick-Ass has a little of everything for the comic book/movie fan. Loved the action and the timely blend of comedy. Definitely not for the kiddies (strong language and graphic violence) but Kick-Ass movie nonetheless. Can't wait for a sequel.

Hit-Girl was awesome and if not for the (admittedly and quite possibly intentional) absurdity of the movie the young actress who portrayed her should get some accolades. Since the Oscars are likely out of the question, here's hoping MTV gives her the nod.

We should create a loop. That way when he gets back he can feel jealous that he's been out of it.

It really only stars 1 kid. The others are the standard 20 somethings pretending to be in high school.

Kick ass was a good movie though I expected it to have more language. Though everything seems PG after watching Hot Tub Time Machine.

Wait, you mean a show called "Kick-Ass" ISN'T made for children? I am shocked. Shocked!

I think the absurdity was intentional--as I understand it the comic was meant to point out all the silliness of the genre. Haven't had a chance to watch the movie yet, but I keep hearing good things about it.

I love Kick-ass. In fact I'm watching it at work at this very moment.

I bought it, and I enjoyed it, but after listening to all my friends praise the crap out of it for weeks... it really didn't live up to my expectations, lol. Yeah it was good and I liked it, but... One of the best movies ever? Nope. Not even my top ten.

Yeah. Kick-Ass isn't the best movie ever. That honor belongs to Speed. (Literally know a guy who actually believes that).
